Reuters/Parth Sanyal Forest workers watch a tigress jump into the Sundari Kati river after she was released from a cage at Sundarbans, about 150 km (93 miles) south of Kolkata, India on February 19, 2008. The pregnant tigress, who strayed into a village on the fringe of the Sunderbans forest, was rescued by the forest workers on Sunday after being stoned and badly beaten by villagers, forest officials said.

My first thought too.
I didn't realize this was a popular book.
I thought I was the only one that had read it.

The winter I read it, I worked as a housekeeper at a hotel. It seemed like every room I serviced had a copy on the nightstand.

I'm glad I read it before I found that out. I probably would have skipped right over it knowing that.
I'm kind of a snob like that.

Just goes to show you that popularity is not a good reason to reject something.

For sure.
I just generally have such a low opinion of people. I guess I assume that most of the people out there are unbearably stupid, and if they are all falling for something like lemmings, that something bears avoiding.
Goes to show how much I know...

I'm sorry, but that made me laugh. I'm not for the whole animal cruelty thing or anything like that, but for some reason that made me laugh.

Yes, that image in particular stands out in my mind.
